Can I flash the BIOS on my HP Pavilion DV9000 series with no OS present?

HP's website only has BIOS updates for Windows OS. However, if you know the manufacturer of your BIOS there is a chance you can find an update from the manufacturer that you could then update using an external floppy drive. Something to point out though, the BIOS update on this system seems to be pretty unstable with users unable to boot after updating it(found this through google search for DV9000 BIOS Update), and it doesn't appear a new update has been issued since.

If you still want to proceed with the update, see if you can find out your BIOS manufacturer(either in BIOS or it may report it in POST) and let me know and I will see what I can find.
